Abstract

The Commercial LiCoO$_2$ particles, which were 7.7${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in average diameter, were coated with $Al_2$O$_3$ by a gas suspension spray coating method. The coating amount of $Al_2$O$_3$ on the surface of LiCoO$_2$ was varied from 0.1 to 2 wt.% and compared their electrochemical characteristics with those of bare LiCoO$_2$. $Al_2$O$_3$ coating on the surface of LiCoO$_2$ increased surface area and electrical conductivity, and showed the better cycle and thermal stability even at the higher voltage. The observed optimum A1$_2$O$_3$ coating amount that exhibited the highest capacity retention was 0.2 wt.%.
